" ... Mais, apr s que Fabius Valens, capitaine d'une l gion, eut le premier pr t serment de fid lit Galba, et que Verginius eut appris, par des lettres de Rome, les d crets du S nat, alors il d termina ses l gions, non sans peine, reconna tre Galba pour empereur. Il ne fit aucune difficult pour recevoir Flaccus Hord onius, que Galba avait envoy pour lui succ der: il lui remit le commandement de l'arm e, puis il alla au-devant de Galba, qui marchait vers Rome. Galba ne lui t moigna aucun ressentiment, parce qu'il respectait sa vertu; mais il ne lui donna non plus nulle marque de bienveillance, retenu qu'il tait par ses amis, et en particulier par Titus Vinnius, qui portait envie Verginius, et qui croyait par l nuire son avancement; mais il ne s'apercevait pas qu'il secondait, son insu, la bonne fortune de Verginius, en l' loignant des maux sans nombre auxquels les guerres assujettissaient les autres g n raux, et en lui laissant couler une vieillesse paisible au sein d'une vie tranquille et sans orages..."

Para un sevillano haber le do los versos: Anda luz luce tu d a y bebe jugo de sol naranjales coplas de rugoso oro jugler a donde mora un nardo de luna y vaga vano astro en la nube faz de luz de secreto gesto fresca boca de pulido fruto castellana plegaria del cipresal so oliento soplo pla ido en mi o do y oigo su ancho azul los majos arrecifes cortejando rubias riberas de alma andaluza, estamparon mi alma andaluza en mi coraz n y ped con alarido gitano la oportunidad de hacer el pr logo de este poemario que ha estampado la esencia andaluza en las m s bellas palabras dentro de inmejorables met foras. Al encontrar buenos horizontes en Alemania, s lo vuelvo a mi tierra para disfrutarla en compa a de todo aquello que me abruma para llev rmelo muy lejos. Alguien que no naci all y timbra los filamentos m s sensibles de un lugar, es el verdadero bardo que s lo requiere la inspiraci n de lo bello que hay, aunque muy lejos, para crear los versos que pronto usted leer .Ese museo al cielo, mi tierra, en perpetuo romance con el sol, donde existe la ciudad so ada de Rainer Mar a Rilke, ahora tiene a su vate. Porque, como dice en su poemario: Una porci n de Sevilla es un destello de sol en la pupila de Dios naci en un pergamino de cante jondo silenciosa rueca de lino e hizo p lida y tonal t nica para cubrir la maja noche ta er con dedal de plata garba guitarra y la gaditana gira su rociera falda de alto talle lunar y raso ribete de blanco coral. Si al lugar en donde usted ha nacido le crean versos similares, y m s si usted vive muy lejos, le ahondar un sentimiento de sublimaci n y nostalgia. Y aunque no sea el suyo el lugar evocado con esta magnificencia, sin despegar un solo pie, viajar y dichoso lugar ser tambi n suyo y de su recuerdo, porque uno recuerda en palabras m s que im genes. Las palabras inmediatamente nos hacen plenos de im genes imborrables.Ya puedo enfrentar a la que m s tememos, y es a partir de la inspiraci n vers stica del presente libro para la vida, pues entonces usted como yo le diremos: Vida qu tame la muerte antes que la vida c lmame de escollos si con ello hago un arte de mi caminar. Porque he confirmado que hay una sola huella encima de otras las m as alguien las borr y a n no doy un solo paso a qui n caminan si el caminante olvid sus pasos? Me olvidar de los m os, pero nunca de estos versos.Garc a Lorca escribi "Andaluc a es incre ble. Oriente sin veneno. Occidente sin acci n." No lo entiendo del todo, pero muy repetido en mi ni ez, y los versos de este libro en relaci n al delet reo de la gaditana, me abren una luz de ese veneno para los enemigos o para el amante que enga a al garbo gitano. Aunque m s bien es la infusi n preparada por tantos siglos para el embeleso que extas a para nunca abandonarse.Cuando me encuentro en alg n momento oscuro, recuerdo los versos del poemario en sus manos y esa penumbra huye cuando me oye versar: A d nde andas luz y no alumbras mi camino te fuiste con el gui o de la gitana. Supe tambi n que cada quien cargaba un imaginario diamante listo a brillar en momentos dif ciles: Un diamante emana de sonoro y lento canto seguiriyas con olor hel nico martinetes de sonora voz estoque toledano de serrana. Y ya mi caminar es, tal cual el poeta hace una eleg a: Tendido al paso del Gaditanum el estrecho de C diz vencidas las columnas de Heracles con lejana l rica del a n m s vencido al- ndalus. Yo, ya nunca m s vencido, s lo enamorado de la vida, y la vida empieza para uno en el lugar que lo vio nacer: el poeta nace de sus versos y es entonces el nico capaz de renacerse a s mismo.Libro uno de la serie Espa ol asAntonio Garc a Terr s

Ronan O'Gara is one of the greatest sportsmen Ireland has ever produced. A brilliant kicker both from the hand and at penalty goals, a sublime orchestrator of play from the out-half position he has made his own, and a cool head in the pressure-cooker of club and international rugby, the list of the Cork man's achievements goes on and on. The leading points scorer in Irish rugby history, the Six Nations and the Heineken Cup. The architect of two amazing Munster triumphs in Europe. The man whose last minute drop-goal sensationally won the Grand Slam in 2009, Ireland's first for 61 years.In his candid, illuminating autobiography, O'Gara tells the story of those many on-field successes and, with brutal honesty, the darker days as well, most notably at the 2007 World Cup. He tells the inside story of Ireland's disappointments in France, and responds to the allegations about his personal life that made front-page news that autumn. Ronan O'Gara: My Autobiography is the unforgettable story of a rugby player at the top of his game, of a life lived to the full, and of a passionate and proud representative of the people of Cork and Ireland.
Ronan O'Gara has been at the heart of Munster and Irish rugby for the past fifteen years. Now, as he comes to the end of a glittering playing career, it is time for him to reflect on those many successes and occasional failures with the straight-talking attitude that has become his trademark. Never one to shy away from the truth, the result is Ronan O'Gara: Unguarded.Packed full of anecdotes and analysis of the teammates O'Gara has been proud to share the shirt with, and of the coaches he has played under - often in controversial circumstances - this is the definitive record of an era when Munster rose to triumph in Europe, and Ireland to win the Grand Slam, before crashing down to earth again. It is simply the must-have rugby book of the year.
Plutarch's "Lives of Galba and Otho" constitute the earliest surviving history of the shocking events that shook the Roman Empire in AD 68 and 69 - the rebellions against Nero, his betrayal and suicide, and Galba's disastrous reign, which ended in his murder. No other source preserves such a coherent account of the extraordinary events of 68, and for 69 Plutarch's "Lives" are comparable with Tacitus' "Histories". As well as including a translation, this useful companion explains the background, and provides a commentary that makes serious use of the numismatic evidence.
Greta Garbo has often been depicted as a lonely recluse. The truth is very different. Once described as 'rather a crazy mystic Swede', Garbo was an independent spiritual explorer whose sense of connection to the natural world was profound. She was a cosmocentric thinker drawn to occult ideas. Moon Laramie maps the essential aspects of self-actualisation, as defined by psychologist Abraham Maslow, onto Garbo's spiritual journey. These include a profound sense of self; recognition of her own essential unity with nature and all life; living fully in the moment; being unrestricted by national or cultural boundaries in the way she viewed the world. Laramie argues that it was Garbo's spiritual sense that enabled her to triumph over Hollywood, defying the patriarchal pressures of both the studio system and wider society.'All true artists, like all true mystics, have illumination in a lesser or a greater degree.' Mercedes de Acosta on Garbo
Blending hard-boiled noir and romance into a compelling historical tale, Looking for Garbo is filled with heart and action." —Foreword Reviews James Main has a film to make. Seth Moseley has a story to tell. Neither have any idea how looking for Garbo would change their lives. When documentary filmmaker James Main places an ad looking for anyone still above ground who knew movie goddess Greta Garbo, he's delighted when Seth Moseley, a salty old reporter, replies with the promise of an untold story of why the reclusive star left Hollywood at the height of her fame. Dying of emphysema, Seth tells the story of when he was a cut-throat paparazzo stow away aboard the S.S. Athenia, intent on getting a candid photo of Garbo to pay off his gambling debts. Instead, the newshound falls hard for the enigmatic star as soon as he meets her face to face. But all is not what it seems and when war in Europe unexpectedly breaks out while the Athenia is still steaming across the Atlantic, Seth has to single-handedly save the movie star in the middle of an open ocean swarming with Nazis. Their daring escape brings Garbo's film career to a premature end and shatters the lives of both star and reporter. And, unbeknownst to James, hearing their story decades later will change his own life forever.

A sequel to the author’s critically acclaimed Delphinium title, One of These Things First, The Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls is a poison-pen, love letter to the end of an era—Manhattan during the decadent, late 1970s. Picking up where he left off at the end of his widely praised debut memoir, One of These Things First, Gaines recounts his hilarious, sometimes poignant attempt to forge a writing career and a successful love life in the gay world of the 1970s. He has limited success until he falls in love with an older woman dying of cancer. Meanwhile, he serendipitously begins a career as a writer when he meets a former child evangelist, and with naïve chutzpah, manages to land a book deal that leads to a whirlwind career as a biographer, rock and roll columnist, and roman à clef novelist who writes a book with a Studio 54 bartender that brings the world down around them. From inside the entertainment business in New York and L.A. to inside the publishing world, Gaines narrates a life of escapades and adventures and searching for love in all the wrong places. After hitting rock bottom, he writes a book about the Beatles that ends up on the New York Times bestseller list, leading to popular esteem and a feeling of momentary redemption.
